  1. I really loved these shorts. Okay, I have a sentimental side and cry easily, but one of these did bring me to tears and a second one came close. They also made me smile a lot. These shorts are well done and serious without beating you up.

  2. Best films of the whole series. If you have to choose only one film to go to, choose Shorts Program 1. You will laugh and cry and really appreciate your own humanity.
